Just to be consistent I need to start out by saying that it has been a while since my last blog. I decided that only having Saturdays to get things done around the house just wasn't cutting it, so I took off Friday to do a little extra work around here. I got up early, read the paper and enjoyed my morning coffee unhurried while I waited for Kim to get up. We went out for breakfast, which is what we do when it is my turn to do breakfast, at a place we hadn't yet tried. It was very good and we will be returning again when it is my turn to do breakfast again.
After breakfast we went to K-Mart to pick up a few things we needed for the projects around the house. While there I got a call on my cell phone, some people seem to ignore the memo about me being off, and to make a long story short I had to go to work. Now in case you think this is a bad thing, I need to mention that the weather was beautiful and I do have a motorcycle that I love to ride. After returning home from K-Mart I fired up the Roadie and headed to work. After a great forty minute ride to work, I spent twenty minutes taking care of the work problem, and then enjoyed a relaxing forty minute ride home. Just think, if it wasn't for work I would not have gone for a ride at all. I love my job!!
When I returned home I started work with a vengeance. Well maybe not a vengeance, but figured I had better get something accomplished. Since the Roadie was all warmed up from the ride I figured I might as well do the oil change she was due for. I thought about doing some of the other work I wanted to do on her, but remembered that I didn't take the day off to work on the Roadie. Maybe another day.
Well back to the yard work which is why I was home and not at work. There are two fan palms that I knew had to be moved because they were getting to big and were crowding out my sago palm. Last week I had to remove my pool slide so there was a big open space that needed some attention. After removing the stones that were around the slide I dug up the fan palms and replanted them where the slide use to be. The wood walkway that went around the slide was deteriorating so that had to be removed also.
The wood is gone, the palms are in place, the stones are mostly forming a walkway and I am starting to feel my age. It is about time to start gathering up my tools and getting everything put away. The job is not complete but tomorrow is another day. It is getting near dinner time and since I didn't bother having any lunch my energy level was getting a little low.
Saturday was my turn to do breakfast again so we went to another place because the one we went to on Friday was not open Saturday and we liked this place also. After breakfast we went home and did a couple things around the house. We had an appointment with an optometrist for our regular eye exam at 1100. We figured in and out in an hour or so, but as things happen we were still there at 1400. By the time we went shopping and returned home it was to late to do to much with the yard projects. OK, so maybe we need to try this again another weekend. Between the rain and the unforeseen circumstances of the weekend I didn't accomplish as much as I had intended but it was a wonderful weekend nonetheless.
Sunday was just a great day of enjoying time with our church family and relaxing at home. After church Kim and I had a nice lunch on the patio and enjoyed reading the Sunday paper. Kim went and took a little nap and I paid the bills on line and spent some time working on the computer. After finishing this blog I am going to get ready for bed so I can get some sleep and prepare for another fun week at work.
